Mystery Men
I finally got to watch this movie!
Since I knew about the existence of this film I wanted to watch it, but then, no one would go with me, and people would not be interested in it, and it only was for a week on the cinema I think, and when I wanted to rent it, my sister will always say "it looks crappy" and we would not rent it, BUT I finally got to watch it!
And it was... pretty good, actually, I mean it wasn't like the best movie I've ever seen or anything, but it was good.
The cast is great and I think it encapsulates the 90s very well, Janeane Garofalo, Ben Stiller, Paul "Pee Wee" Reubens! Hank Azaria, Kel from Kenan & Kel, Greg Kinnear (who I will always refer to as Helen Huntz), Eddie Izzard and some other guys.
The movie has its very funny moments, those moments that just move the story forward, the obvious plot twists you would expect, and one unexpected thing that works very well.
If you like goofy superhero movies and comedians who were big on the 90s, be sure to check this shit out.
P.S. There are some interesting cameos here, Michael Bay, Cee Lo, Dane Cook, and so on. I DIDN'T SAY THEY WERE GOOD, but there are cameos.
Don't be Afraid of the Dark
Well, I can't say much about this movie, to be completely honest I didn't liked it very much.
There wasn't any scary scenes, the pacing was slow, and very predictable, the acting is okay but I think it lacks something that would make the whole thing more believable.
I would really like to watch the original made for tv movie on which this was based on and compare the two of them.
Anyhow, the Tom Cruise family make a decent job and their awkwardness transfers to the film.
Overall, a movie to past the time.
P.S. There is one interesting cameo in this film that made me giggle.

Rambo
Holy shit is this movie violent and awesome! It has some extra points because of the lovely Julie Benz, Sly is a fan of Dexter so he wanted to work with her.
I liked this gore fest very much. This sequel really cranked up the gore factor to 11, and yes, there are some upsetting scenes of children and innocent people getting butchered and burned alive and stuff but, the final payoff from John J. MOTHERFUCKING Rambo killing every single soldier in sight is pretty damn amazing.
Sly himself directed this thing, and I think it shows.
If you haven't seen this little blood diamond of a movie, be sure to check it out.
P.S. It is pretty interesting to think about this film as the only Rambo movie where he keeps his shirt on at all times, he never gets captured and there's not an helicopter involved.
